I had one fairly close to left edge, but I was certain it was far enough from the wall.but it was forward against the front bulkhead.I drilled a small hole through the hull.(closest to bulkhead and left side).the bottom of the boat swoops up high there and it is only like an inch thick!.holy crap. As I said, I bought two nice mounting plates for the Optimas, and I drilled pilot holes to screw them down. I razor cut a rectangle of carpet off the ride side wall in the cubby (about 19x24" I think) and used liquid nails to glue up the board to the right side wall.will mount all equipment on that. If you stay along the storage locker right side wall and an inch or two bow-wards of the exsiting hole, that's a nice place to drill. I drilled a 2" hole (and dropped a nice 2" rubber grommet in the hole) just forward of the small existing cable hole that's currently in the floor in the storage cubby hole locker (where existing battery cables were running). The signal wires (rca wires) need to run from stereo back to under the wheel well area, down and across the top edge of the ski locker, and up into the left side storage cubby locker. When window was off, I pulled the old speaker and dropped in the 6-1/2" and used a 2" hole saw to drill the 2" tweeter hole near it. The seal strip underneath the window had spread and moved all around so I removed the old seal strip and replaced with Magzo foam insulation tape 1/8" - 3/4" wide strip I got from Amazon. So I removed the windshield center window, and then left side window assembly. It works perfectly and makes a nice crimp.very professional.all on Amazon. Basically its a crimper and all the terminals you need in a kit. To crimp terminals to the wire I bought "terminals crimping tool kit, Preciva spade connectors.blah blah". This is great wire and comes with two lines perfectly molded into a thick round rubber sleeve - seems like lots of protection from abrasion.

For speaker wire I bought GearIT pro series 14 gauge. And NVX ANL fuse holder for main power 100W (buy the fuse separately).
And knukoncepts Kolossus flex Kable 4AWG (pure copper wire for power and ground wires).
I also bought knukoncepts Krystal kable 2 cable RCA line and a krystal kable 4 channel RCA line. I also opted for two new Optima D34M batteries.these are pricey, and 2 aluminum billet mounting plates which are made to hold optimas down firmly.
The Alpine Amp drives all four channels at 75W RMS (4ohm) or 100W RMs 2 Ohm - the sub channel is as explained. The 4 Ohm voice coils get wired in parallel which makes the single woofer run at 2 ohm (A 2 ohm woofer with this Amp gets 500W versus 300W for a 4 ohm). The sub box gets an Alpine 12" (D-W12D4 - twin voice coils at 4 ohm each).

I also am building a 12" subwoofer sealed box (0.85ft3) which I will just lay on the floor behind the drivers seat (edit - finally ended up installing under helm). Here is an overview and a few lessons learned.Įquipment is an Alpine head unit (Alpine 172BT) , an Alpine 5 channel X-A90V class D amp, 2 Alpine R-S65.2 component 6-1/2" speakers in dash (meaning there is a separate 2" tweeter for each - so 4 speakers), and 2 Alpine R65 6-1/2 co-axials in the rear.

One thing I always wanted to do was to install a nice stereo, so I am happy to share that I am nearly done with it and should finish this weekend.
Once again, its glorious and like new (I bought it in 2001). I recently brought my 2001 sunsetter LXI back to life with lots of maintenance and polishing completed.
